Broken, yet rebellious. I swore this time
To save it from the sin of forgiving
Explanation: The poet KeKi N. Daruwala this stanza of the poems 'Fire
Hymn' is the poet of love, death, domination, plight of human society and
violence.
The poet has lost his first born child. He consigned the body of his first
born to the flames for cremation. He is 'Parsi' by religion, but he violated the
tradition of his religion by cremating his child. This great loss had broken him
and he regarded himself rebellious for going against his religious tradition. He
took oath after thinking himself of this fault to save it from the sin of forgiving.
